Posted August 4, 2016 by Floydian Slip
A 1986 show that was part of David Gilmour‘s stint with Pete Townshend‘s Deep End band is about to be released.
“Face to Face” will be a two-disc DVD/CD set of the band’s appearance on German TV’s “Rockpalast” program. The performance was recorded at Marché International du Disque et de l’Edition Musicale (MIDEM) in Cannes on Jan. 29, 1986.
The discs will be released Sept. 16. The package will also be available digitally.
In addition to Townshend solo songs and classics from The Who, the band performs Gilmour’s “Blue Light” from his ’84 “About Face” album.
The band includes: Townshend (vocals, guitar); Gilmour (guitar, vocals); Peter Hope-Evans (harmonica); Chucho Merchan (bass); Simon Phillips (drums); John Rabbit Bundrick (keyboards); Jody Linscott (percussion); The Kick Horns: Simon Clarke, Roddy Lorimer, Tim Sanders, Pete Beachill and Dave Plews; and backing vocalists Billy Nicholls, Ian Ellis, Chris Staines, Gina Foster and Coral Gordan.
“Blue Light” will appear on the DVD and the CD.
Thanks to Ian Schulze for the heads-up.
Dame Vera Lynn honored
Posted August 3, 2016 by Floydian Slip
Dame Vera Lynn (pictured in 1962) was made a Member of the Order of the Companions of Honour in the Queen’s Birthday Honours list.
Lynn, 99, received the honor at her home in Ditchling. She was unable to travel to Buckingham Palace.
Lynn was in her 20s when she helped boost the spirit of the British during World War II with hits such as “We’ll Meet Again.”
Roger Waters name-checked her on Pink Floyd’s 1979 album “The Wall” in the song “Vera,” singing, “Does anybody here remember Vera Lynn? Remember how she said that we would meet again some sunny day?”
“In accepting this award, I do so in remembrance of all our wonderful brave boys who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom, and also in honor of all the children affected by cerebral palsy,” Lynn said.

It’s official: New Pink Floyd boxset coming this fall
Posted July 28, 2016 by Floydian Slip
We’ve received official confirmation Pink Floyd will release a massive boxset containing loads of previously-released early material on Nov. 11.
“The Early Years 1965-1972” will be a deluxe 27-disc box featuring seven individual book-style packages.
The news was apparently leaked by shop.pinkfloyd.com ahead of this morning’s press release embargo time, though the online store subsequently removed details of the box from its site.
Boxset details
In order to get all of the details currently available about this boxset to you as quickly as possible, here’s the official 10-page press release (PDF).
The official release doesn’t include pricing, but Google’s cached copy of the shop.pinkfloyd.com page shows a price of US $700.
Judging from the press release, the band originally intended to announce the news July 16.
Read our previous post about the boxset.
Addendum (July 29, 2016)
The boxset is now listed at shop.pinkfloyd.com with a price of US $550. A 2-CD highlights disc is also available for US $15.99.
New Pink Floyd boxset?
Posted July 28, 2016 by Floydian Slip
What appears to be a massive boxset of early Pink Floyd material appeared on the official webstore of Pink Floyd.
And then disappeared.
Google’s cache of the page reveals “The Early Years Box Set: 1965-1972” contains more than 11 hours or audio (130+ tracks) and more than 14 hours of audio-visual material.
Here are the details:
- Comprehensive 27-disc box set, 7 individual book style volumes
- 20+ songs previously unreleased, 7+ hours of previously unreleased live audio performances, 5+ hours of ?rare concert footage, along with 5 7” singles in replica sleeves, collectable memorabilia, feature films & ?new sound mixes
- BBC Radio Sessions, remixes, outtakes, and alternative versions more than 11 hours of audio (made up of 130+ ?tracks) as well as live TV performance in more than 14 hours audio visual
- Previously unreleased tracks include 1967’s Vegetable Man and In The Beechwoods, which have been ?mixed for the first time specially for this release
- 2 historic Quad mixes (1 unreleased), plus new 5.1 mixes of Meddle and Obscured By Clouds albums
- Plus Pink Floyd’s early vinyl singles — the first 5 UK releases, (1967-68) remastered from original tapes, original sleeves/heavyweight vinyl/paper labels replicated
The page lists the box as “Coming soon” for a price of $700.
Could someone at shop.pinkfloyd.com have accidentally pulled the trigger early? Revealing a box that wasn’t yet ready-for-primetime? Apparently.
Details as they’re available …
